    Agree there are bigger problems at the club, Lawell being the biggest. If these players were not trying why were they constantly picked ? Lennon kept selecting them. Players don't just down tools and stop trying for the * of it, not when tv cameras are on you with millions watching. I agree there has something been going on behind the scenes, even the players body language before games was telling us that, post match interviews especially with Calmac was telling something was wrong.Becoming unmotivated, disheartened, even disillusioned can affect them when things are not going well, not understanding tactics setup etc but to go on the field of play and to not delibrately try is hard to do.

    Brown has plenty to say now, wonder why he didn’t pipe up as the season fell apart and pretty much every player became disillusioned with the management at the same time.

    Oh yeah, because Lennon is Browns pal and he was giving him game time.

    Brown needs reminded of the red card embarrassment at Livi and the penalty against hibs

    I don’t believe he is saying they stopped trying. I believe Brown was Lenny’s right arm in the dressing room and one of the few players he could trust. Add into it McGregor and maybe a few others. I believe Brown is calling out the players who downed tools and wouldn’t follow Lennon’s lead. I also don’t think Brown has any blame in all this and was doing his best to bridge the gap between both parties. Difficult role even for a club captain.

    His words were "as players we have to take responsibility"so i guess he includes himself.

    I get what your saying but if he is calling out players why not say they instead of we?My point is if he is saying they are responsible,then they have done something wrong.

    So as players what can they do wrong that is their fault/doing?its not tactics as thats down to lennon so it can only be what they doing or not doing on the pitch and they dont become bad players over night who cant carry out instructions so imo it boils down to putting in an effort.

    As athletes they would have a desire to win either way but its all about going the extra mile ,digging deeper,putting in the extra effort,imo our players stopped doing that(eddie for example)and i think thats what brown was saying.

    Thinking about it the day, if we are to do 10 IAR I will be 40 odd. Depressing, so disappointed in him it is unreal.

    Gave his life?

    I must of missed his funeral.

    If Martin o Neil was the huns manager he would of probably gone there as well

    Rodgers gets a hard time for not being a true Celtic man (understandable) , this fraudster is the exact same, infact probably worse

    Tried whoring himself to England for a good year first time around and treated the fans with utter contempt this year

    I have even started to doubt did McCoist even say anything bad to him 10years ago? Man is full of *.

    In conclusion, * him.

    They're all in it for the coin and couldn't give two * about the paying public.

    The lot of them are vultures who speak utter *.

    I think you are reading far too much into that statement. If you look at what pretty much all players say to the media after any manager is sacked it's almost word for word what Brown said. It'll probably have been scripted for him.

    A lot of truth in there, but also a lot of pish.

    As some have said previously and like the saying, birthday card pish.

    He's been a * manager really, he got lucky with Park finding some good uns, but he's the king of the bottlers.

    Ross Cty in a sf, cup - pumped
    Killie in final - pumped, sure it was the chance of a treble.
    ICT - pumped, lost league
    This season in a whole, embarrassing.

    Even his successes since returning, league that was already won, last year title called early, that Hearts final, embarrassing.

    Loved him as a player, but not a manager for me, when he got the job said he couldn't be trusted to see the 10 through.

    They don't care, they just want the soundbite for their headline. It means they can then regurgitate their last sacked manager story and simply change the names.
